The Boating Decision 

I remember the day 

The day I said goodbye 

That day I sailed away 

The day I made you cry  

My ship I hopped aboard 

Been calling me to come 

For wages room and board 

Would nine months be my home 

Swabbing decks cleaning rooms 

Drinks were free food was good 

Keeping busy time zoomed 

Happy not, bad were moods 

Payday came hopped the boat  

Ship work is not my thing 

Coming near, near your home 

Hear the bell, be my ring  

Know now I should be here 

Have you close cozy near 

Bad mistake 

Please be home 

A Landlubbers Envy

Imagine - a Poem for dVerse Quadrille

        Imagine

When I was a little boy

I could not imagine things

Other children could do that

Had imaginary friends 

My little sister did well

Age of two she had a friend

His name was “Two Year Old Kid”

At three his name didn't change
